About our shower tray repair in Longwell Green

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

FAQs for Longwell Green

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you cover the whole of South Gloucestershire?

All of South Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Longwell Green?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
